I have been using AnyDVD for about a year to watch my Region 1 and 2 DVDs via my HTPC (running Vista Ultimate 64 bit using the Windows Media Centre, not the best I know, but it works well with my remote).
With the release of the LG GGC-H20L hybrid drive I'm thinking of making the upgrade to high definition DVD but am a little confused as about what I need to do, software-wise.
My primary problem (as far as I can tell) is that my Samsung 720p TV (connected to the HTPC via DVI) does not support HDCP (well I'm pretty certain it doesn't). Now I know from the documentation and forums here that upgrading to AnyDVD HD will solve that problem, however I'm confused as to whether I simply need to run AnyDVD HD and play the disks or whether I will have to rib the disks to my hard drive and play them back from there (which is obviously a issue with the latest versions of PowerDVD)?
Clearly the longer term solution is a 1080p HDCP compliant TV, however that will have to wait for 2 or 3 years!
I'm sure I'm just missing something very obvious, but would appreciate it if you guys could clarify this question for me.
Thanks,
Paul
